Happy Valley, Great Orme, Llandudno, LL30 2DF

Tel: 01492 877 205

An enjoyable and relaxing way to reach the Great Orme's Summit is to ride the Llandudno Cable Car. Built in 1969 and overhauled in 2006, the cabins each hold four people.

The ride starts close to the base of the Great Orme in Happy Valley which is easily reached on foot or by car, and is just a short distance from the promenade.

Rising to 615ft, the cable car journey is the longest in Great Britain, and once at the summit, visitors can enjoy unbeatable, stunning views of Llandudno and the north Wales coastline.

Visitors can choose a return ride (18 minutes) or single ride from Happy Valley or the summit. There is a cafe and play park at the summit allowing visitors to enjoy refreshments before they start their journey back down. A good combination is to take the cable car on one leg of the journey and the Great Orme Tram on the other. For those who wish to explore this delightful area on foot, there are plenty of walks that begin at the summit.

Those who enjoy photography are advised to have their cameras at the ready, especially for the lower part of the journey as this offers the best views of Llandudno Pier, Happy Valley, the town centre and the ski slope.
